Kang Youwei's writings to publicize the reform and change of the law are

Kang Youwei's works to publicize the reform of the law include: The Reform of Confucius and The New School of False Scriptures.

Confucius' Reform is a theoretical work on the reform of the law written by Kang Youwei, a modern thinker, educator and literary scholar. The New Study of Pseudo-Jing Kao, also known as Pseudo-Jing Kao, a fourteen-volume work first published in 1891, and the Confucius Reform Kao are both important works by Kang Youwei under the banner of the Gongyang School, promoting the idea of reforming the system of the ancient world.

Confucius' "Reform of the System" argued that there was no evidence of the history before Confucius, so Confucius made the Six Classics by relying on the words and deeds of the ancient sages, such as Yao and Shun, with the aim of reforming the system by relying on the past. By fictionalizing a Confucius who was the first one to "change the system", Kang actually used modern western socio-political thinking to dress up Confucius as a "vegetarian king" who changed the system, so as to build up momentum for his change in order to alleviate the resistance of the New Reform and change of the law. In his book, KANG Youwei attached the doctrine of Gongyang to the theory of historical evolution, claiming that human society evolved in the order of "the age of chaos", "the age of peace" and "the age of peace", which corresponded to the following The corresponding periods were the Age of Monarchical Dictatorship, the Age of Constitutional Monarchy, and the Age of Democracy*** and thus argued for the inevitability of the Reform and Restoration of the Law and demanded that the system be changed because of the reform. This is regarded by the opposition as a "clear seem to promote Confucianism, in fact, since the meaning of the reformation" of the "no father, no king" of the rebellious behavior, the book also narrowly avoided the fate of the destruction of the edition.

The New School of False Scriptures focuses on the scriptures, attacking the traditional "ancient language" of the scriptures. Kang Youwei believes that successive feudal rulers honored the "ancient" classics, such as "Zhou Li", "Yi Li", "ancient Shangshu", "Zuo Zhuan", "Mao Poetry", etc. are the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xin forged, and therefore are "pseudo-scriptures". The purpose of Liu Xin's pseudo-jing is to help Wang Mang usurp the power of the Western Han Dynasty and establish a dynasty with the name of "New", so the ancient scriptures are the science of the New Mang Dynasty, which can only be referred to as the "New Science".
